I was surprised that I still remembered a lot of what you taught us back then &#8211; when to raise the bottle, when to adjust the flow rate, etc.. also, you insisted that we used a different phaco machine and lens system so that we could try different equipment. These things didn&#8217;t seem much back then, but now in retrospect, I think they are really important to learn during training.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I do have to say it was probably the best training I could have asked for.
